I’d have to say that as someone who’s attempting to travel around the U.S. on biodiesel, it’s been a real nasty surprise to find out how inaccessible biodiesel can be in many parts of the U.S. We only get to fill up about 50% of the time with it, which is a real bummer. If we had our way, we’d be running SVO too, but logistics with our vehicle prevent that, for now. When we land somewhere permanently, we’ll be making our own fuel ourselves, or eventually getting the conversion kit for SVO. As far as price goes, it can range from being cheaper than regular diesel, to vastly more expensive (we paid $3.49/gal in Vermont last week!).

we are also svo users (actually wvo to be more specific). i couldnt agree with you more about the questions/reservations about the commercialization of the (over)use of such biofuels. too much reliance on veggie oil is just as bad as the current problem we have with gasoline just with different consequences. i wish there were one answer that would appease the masses but to me the answer is diversity among how we get energy. too much reliance on veggie oils has a lot of environmental consequences as you know.

also i will add if you come through or near columbus, ohio we have some clean wvo for you guys!
